NEW RELEASES: JUICE WINS THE RACE (UPDATE)

Based on early reads, Grade A/Interscope's Juice WRLD is on track for a big #1 chart bow with his new, cinematically titled set, Death Race for Love. Here's what preliminary numbers indicate for the week's key releases:

Juice WRLD (Grade A/Interscope) 140-165k total activity, 37-42k album
Maren Morris (Columbia Nashville) 30-40k total, 15-20k album
New Kids on the Block, Hangin’ Tough: 30th Anniversary (Legacy) 15-20k, 14-19k

Juice's latest (his second full-length solo set) is yet another in a string of triumphs for IGA boss John Janick, EVP Joie Manda and team. Interscope's been on a roll with A Star Is Born and J. Cole, among others, and Billie Eilish is due to go supernova at the end of this month.

Stay tuned for more updates.
